2000 Nissan Sunny Super Saloon from Singapore - Comments

Corrosion on the engine block.

Idle rpm has risen from 750 to 800.

Noise from the front off side suspension whenever the car is steered after having stood for a while.

Believe it or not rust! Yes, rust on the front right wing (the car is less than a year old); rust proof coating on chassis has fallen off; couldn't be sure if it was there in the first place.

Dash was made in a toy factory, China written all over it (cheap nasty plastics). Build quality?Maybe Nissan should buy that from the Germans. Bitterly disappointing.

Nissan, in Singapore, is selling very well so far this year. But believe me, the cars are shoddy. Nissan must seriously improve the build quality of the cars they make. They've been claiming that they are doing just that, I, for one, don't believe it. The agent in Singapore, simply put, is lousy.

Deplorable service, if you could call it service in the first place. Complaints are brushed aside and customers are made to look stupid. Think twice about a Nissan!

At last someone else agrees with me.

I strongly disagree with you. My Nissan/Datsun's 21 years old, has never broken down and the engine runs as well as it did when it was brand new.

It depends on the driver... do not blame cars when they break when road hogs drive them... I have a Nissan too, and I drive it easily even at 5000rpm, and it does not have a problem...

At least for the last 9 years ;)

We'll have to compare Apple for Apple. The comment is for a year 2000 Nissan Sunny. Manufacturing quality and standards may drop over the years. 10 years ago, Nissan may produce good car but today...???

I have a 97 Sunny, my point of view is that if you're buying a Sunny, you're buying it with the intention of getting a low priced reliable car and not a something like a BMW. So if you want a Sunny to be like a BMW, then I guess you'll have to pay the same amount of money for it. Don't expect to get a BMW look and feel for a Sunny price.

I disagree, I own a 1985 Nissan sunny DX and the car is like new.

My next car is going to be the Nissan Primera because I'm extremely happy with my Nissan. They're the best.

Any comments for the 2001 version of Nissan Sunny 1.6 SS (A)?

Got myself a Nissan Sunny 1.5A...

Good value for money... for point A to B. Thumbs up after adding in leather seats. Planning to put 15" inch rims and will be perfect.

1. Not a powerful car... must be gentle on it. Didn't test drive 1.6A, cannot comment.

2. Aircon a bit noisy as compared to my 1990 model Nissan Sunny.

3. Suspension is too soft.

4. For the $$$ you are paying, that's what you are getting.

I have driven the Sunny 1.5Ex Auto for a year and decided to give up. The main problem is the petrol consumption is rather high (8.5km per litter). I have checked with few of my friends and realised it after the started to clock.

The power is expected as it is the auto gear. Road holding is good, good quality as well.

But I do not want it any more as I can't affort to pay more money for the petrol .

I've been driving the sunny 1.5 (A) for 2.5 years and it's reliable. The fuel consumption can't be 8.5km/l. That's sports car stuff! The worst case may be about 11-12 km/l (when pushed hard). Anyway, I agree the build is nothing great. But Jap cars have never been famous for build quality. On the other hand, they are outrageously reliable, which makes them popular considering our situation here. Which one will I go for in future? I guess a car's build quality don't matter a thing when it's not even reliable. Hopefully the Japs and Euros should work together to produce the ultimate car- great build and reliability!

The Nissan Sunny's 1.5 Ex Auto fuel consumption sucks! I've been driving the new car for 8 months and only managed 9.5 km/litre... This is terrible!

Bought new Nissan Almera in May 2000.Started to rust within a year. Dealer would only offer to scrape rust off and respray area, even though car was under warranty. Emailed Nissan- no response after 8 months. Dealer wants me to resell my vehicle to them at below market value and give me a $4,000 discount off a new one. Shame on Nissan Corp.

Hello I have a nissan sunny super saloon.The chassis no:JN1CFAN16Z0001125

Model no:CDGARSAN1bEYAKD-M4

ENGINE:QG1b(DE) 1597.

I am looking a new air flow sensor. Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much, Chris.

I have owned 2 Nissan Sunnys in a row. IMHO they are real value for money workhorses. Concerning fuel consumption; I have had no problem as I am using the 5-speed manual version and manage to squeeze about 13.5 km/l. I guess you have to learn to do some hand- and footwork to enjoy some petrol savings. :)
